Editing your text
Use a VERY light touch!
Touch the space you want to edit. You will see a magnifying glass and you can gently slide to the letter you want to correct. When you release you will see options for editing "select, select all, paste". When you select any part you will see a blue box with tiny circles that you can drag across any part of your text to select it.
Try Out Your Camera!
Did you know that you can take a picture in either direction (looking away or looking toward you) and you have a movie camera option. See if you can figure this out. If you are struggling, ask a student in your class.
A great use of your camera is recording students that are practicing for a program. Play it back for them and ask "What do we need to work on?" They really respond.
